Eric Church extends tour, adds New England dates

Eric Church has extended “The Blood, Sweat & Beers” tour through the fall with two stops in New England included. The rising country star will hit Connecticut in August and Massachusetts in September.

Next month, Church will make his way to Connecticut for a performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville with special guest Robert Earl Keen. Tickets for the show, which will take place on Friday, August 17, are available through Ticketmaster for $39.50. He’ll hit Massachusetts in September when the tour stops at the Mullins Center in Amherst on Thursday, September 13. Tickets for the show, which range in price from $37.50 to $47.50, are now on sale through Ticketmaster. Justin Moore and Kip Moore will open the show in Amherst.

Church continues to tour in support of his latest album, Chief. Released last July, the North Carolina-bred singer’s third studio effort debuted at #1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The Grammy Award nominated album has been powered by hit singles “Homeboy”, “Drink in My Hand” and “Springsteen”. The video for the latter is streaming below.
